Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio appeared in Italy in 1883. Pinocchio, the wooden puppet is at odds with morality, find it difficult to resist temptation, he is rather lazy and often tells tales. His one desire is to have fun. His story follows the structure of folk tales: the unsuspecting and naive protagonist innocently steps out into the world. He runs away from home and gets in with bad company, has a series of calamities, and gets into ridiculous situations. During his adventures he must realise that for happiness, he must behave well and learn a lot. As a reward, he turns from a wooden puppet into a little boy, returns home and lives happily with his old master.
